rizzoads Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I haven't posted on the forum in years, but this felt like the right time to join the cliff diving thread. This snowstorm has me thinking we live in a simulation. I measured 1.5" at my house. WRAL actually used a picture from my neighborhood in their story discussing what caused the snow hole. Take a look at this snow totals map, and it's pretty easy to guess where my house is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry that happened to you for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two storms back to back along with a possible third, and that’s the definition of too much of a good thing. I wouldn’t mind to be in the screw zone this time like we usually are.

KChuck Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I feel for the people in the screw zone, but at least some still had a sense of humor. Van Denton of WGHP asked people to send in the amount of snow along with their location. A lot sent in pictures of a measuring tool in the snow to visually give their amount. A Triad person had his Wake County brother take a picture which he submitted for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get past Valentine's Day it gets a lot harder to get anything worthwhile in most years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get past Valentine's Day it gets a lot harder to get anything worthwhile in most years. I remember several years in a row in the 80s when the first week of March saw snow that got us out of school. I can't imagine that happening anymore. Heck, I remember in about 1977(?) when my grandparents were visiting us for Easter and my father woke them up playing Jingle Bells on the stereo because in the first week of April a storm dumped about 6 inches of snow on Floyd, VA. Sad trombone. Climate change. Eat at Arby's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last years storm didn’t stick on roads until sunset even though it was in the mid 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the reason I got so upset about this last one is because of missed photo ops with a big one in Raleigh that could have caught on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 So my question to everyone else who endured the dry slot is did this feel worse than December 2000 to you, better, or about the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEwakenosnowforu Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I will never forget the late March snow in like 83...was like 8 inches in Wilson...no sunangle or ground temp problems! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionCountyNCWX Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago *checks notes* Lack of cold air? Check Lack of moisture (trending drier)? Check Anything notable on the horizon? Not really for NC for now. Ill cash out and see yall for severe weather season, and for most, next winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 2000 takes the cake. We went from 12-18” to literally nothing and had no clue it was a total fail until well into the day of. This one we knew the dry slot was likely on top of us, it just sucked bc it snowed a lot literally 360 degrees around us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
